"Alright, since you’ve put it that way, let her stay then."
Thinking of this, Jiang Fan agreed to Su Weiwei’s decision.
"Mm."
Su Weiwei nodded gently.
At this moment, Lu Youyou was very grateful as she looked at Su Weiwei, completely surprised that this beautiful woman would voluntarily speak up for her.
If not for this woman, this cold-hearted bastard would definitely have taken all the treasures on her and then kicked her away.
Boom~~
Just then, before Lu Youyou could utter a word, Jiang Fan waved his hand, activating the power of the Exquisite Tower, and instantly pulled both Lu Youyou and Su Weiwei into the tower.
A mark silently integrated into Lu Youyou’s body.
"Let’s find a place to settle first."
Jiang Fan had no intention of staying on Spiritual Snake Island for long since he had just dealt with the Black Wind Double Evil, two Golden Core Cultivators who were Honored Guest Elders of a Nascent Soul Clan.
Who knew what actions the Nascent Soul Clan would take after learning about this?
They might send other cultivators here to investigate the situation.
He wasn’t ready to provoke the Nascent Soul Clan yet, so he planned to leave as far as possible.
As for the Zhu Family, he couldn’t return there for the time being either.
So currently, he could only find a deserted island to temporarily settle and then seek another place to go.
Swoosh!
Thinking of this, Jiang Fan’s figure flickered and soon disappeared from this place.
...
Several days later.
Within the Exquisite Tower’s internal world.
Lu Youyou had been here for a few days and had become quite familiar with the place.
"Master, I never expected we would be inside a spatial treasure. It’s truly mind-boggling."
"Even my Lu Family ancestor doesn’t have such a treasure."
At this moment, Lu Youyou spoke to a strange soul deep within her own soul.
In fact, she had a secret she had never told anyone. When she was little, she obtained a jade pendant, which housed a remnant soul.
This remnant soul formed an incredible connection with her soul.
The other claimed to be Cloud Fairy, a Great Power from the Upper Realm.
Due to a life-and-death catastrophe, they fell to the lower realm and encountered Lu Youyou.
Thanks to Cloud Fairy’s help, her cultivation had progressed rapidly, and her alchemy skills had risen to Tier Three, making her a prodigy in the Alchemy Dao.
Thus, she became cherished by the Lu Family ancestor and was seen as the future of the Lu Family.
After all, a high-tier alchemist is crucially important to a family.
The reason she decided to seek allegiance with Jiang Fan and become his maid was based on Cloud Fairy’s suggestion.
"Heh, what does your Lu Family ancestor matter? How could they possibly have a spatial treasure?"
"Such treasures, even Divinity Transformation Cultivators in this Cultivation Realm, might not possess."
"Now you know what a great fortune you’ve encountered by becoming this person’s maid, don’t you?"
Cloud Fairy said indifferently.
"But didn’t you say, Master, that there was a special mark left on me."
"With just a thought from him, I could perish."
"Now, I can’t even control my own life or death. How is this a good thing?"
Lu Youyou said helplessly.
She felt her life was at the mercy of that hateful man.
If she angered him, it was likely she’d meet her end.
"Heh, the fact that you’re alive now is already an enormous blessing."
"According to my divination, if you leave that man, you’ll die in less than three days."
"Now, as his maid, you’ve extended your life."
Cloud Fairy said solemnly.
"Master, why am I so unlucky?"
"After all, I’m a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. I shouldn’t die so easily."
Lu Youyou knew how formidable her master was — a Divination Master capable of fortune-telling and future prediction, with a quite high accuracy rate, if not flawless.
If not for her master’s help, the Lu clan would have wiped out, and she’d have perished with it. There was no way she could have survived until now.
"Times are different now."
"In this sea region, demons and humans are clashing, with danger lurking everywhere."
"And you, with a top-tier Tripod Furnace Spirit Body, are definitely a desirable commodity to high-tier cultivators."
"Once your special physique is exposed, it’s very likely you’ll meet a tragic end."
Cloud Fairy said helplessly. She had gone to great lengths to protect this girl’s life, but there was no helping it; her fate was tied to Lu Youyou now.
"No wonder Master advised me to reveal my special physique voluntarily."
"It seems all efforts were to make me this man’s maid, to gain his protection?"
Lu Youyou now understood her master’s painstaking effort.
Recalling the tragic fates of others with Tripod Furnace Physiques, she couldn’t help but shiver.
Previously, she had the protection of the Lu family, and no one dared to harm her.
But now, with the Lu family gone, no one could protect her.
"Exactly, from the outcome, my prediction was quite accurate."
"This man indeed has integrity."
"Even knowing you’re a Tongyu Phoenix Marrow Body, he didn’t choose to harm you."
"Though you’ve indeed been left with a special restriction now, as long as you’re loyal and respectful, he won’t do you any harm."
